CONGRESS TO
TAKE RECESS
Bone-Dry Bul Is Buried
Now Until After
Election.
By agreement between leaden of
the House and ?Senate, both houses
of Congress will declare a recess be
ginning October 29, and, continuing
until November 12. Final announce
ment of the agreement waa made tn
the House today by Majority Leader
Kitchin. and was greeted with ap
plause, as the great majority of
the members are anxious to get to
their homes for the closing daya of
the campaign.
So far as actual work is concerned
In effect, as no business will t*e
transacted between now, and th*
day set for the Joint recess. Every
three days until October 29. the
House will be called to order, and
will at once adjourn without trans
acting any business.
Mr. Kitchin told the House that
the Senate Finance Committee hopes
to be able to flnlsh work on the
revenue bill by October 29, and It
will be reported to the Senate, and
.placed on the calendar until after
the election. He said it was hoped
to have the bill passed by the Sen
ate by November 20, or, not later
than November 25.
War Pracraii Well G?.
The House h.as dispose?! of every
thing demanded by the war program
on Us calendar except the confer
ence report on the food stimulation
bill, which contains the bone-dry
amendment. There is nothing there
fore In the way of adjournment, so
far aa the House is concerned, ?tntil
the revenue bill comes over from the
Senate, but the date of November 12
has been agreed upon for the concur
rent resolution of recesa, in order that
the Senate mich: be able at that time
to take up the bill for consideration.
Representative Randall, of Califor
nia, and other prohibition leaders
were anxious to force the adoption of
the conference report, being solicitous
for the fate of the bone-dry amend
ment. But Representative Johnson,
of Kentucky, author of a measure
directed against rent profiteering in ?
the District of *w*^umbia, declined to
allow the report to be adopted, for)
the reason that it contains the Pome- ;
rene rent-profiteering measure to ?
which Mr. Johnson objects.
Mr. Randall made a motion to con- ;
cur in the Pomerene amendment, but |
Mr. Johnson took the floor and made !
a vehement fcp<f*ech, in which he de- j
nounced the Pomerene measure as
being in the interest of the profiteer.**.. ,
The House voted to stand by him. j
Hence the bone-dry amendment goes
over without action until Congress'
reassembles after the election.

bership of which is composed of

OVERSEAS HAY NEED
PROVIDED FOR NOW
Fuel and Forage Division Has In
creased Output.
Showing that the horse and hi?
half brother tha mule have not
been displaced In th* war by motor
transport, the War Department an
nounced last nlghi that 40.000 tons
of hay a month will be sent over
saw* as soon as the expanding fa
cilities reach capacity.
Hay recompresslng works with a?
dally capacity of approximately j
1,500 tons are being operated now
by the fuel and forage division
of the Quartermaster Corps, and
arrangements have been made ( for
the speedy completion of other es
tablishments that will bring the
total daily recompresslng capacity
up to 2,000 tons. Based on a month
of 20 working days, this will give
an output of 40.000 tons a month,
which would more than meet the
monthly consumption overseas.
Additional recompresslng estab
lishments, however, will have to
be constructed to assure a proper
overseas reserve, and the Quarter
master Corps is taking steps now
to have these additional works
built.
RED CROSS RECEIVES
60 PURE BRED COWS
Dairy Cattle Supplied by Breeders
of Guernsey.
London, Sept. 25 (by mail)?Sixty
pure bred dairy cows are the latest
present received by the American
Rad Cross. They are the result of
an "Appeal to Cattle Breeders," i?
?ued by the leading citizens of the
English Channel to stock the New
American Red Cross hospital farm
at Sarlsbury with island cattle.
The ."'Appeal" reads In part:
"A year ago when the food sup
ply situation in England and ln the
Channel Islands was a source of the
greatest anxiety to the, authorities
the Americans living in the land of
plenty, voluntarily rationed them
selves in ord_er that we might have
enough -to eat. And they are still
doing so.
"The American Red Cross Is
erecting a Hospital with 300 beds at
Sarisbury Court, near Southampton,
and has purchased a large area of
land surrounding It for a farm cap
able of supplying all its dairy and
other needs.
"It would be a gracious act on
the part of the Guernsey farmers
to sto-ck the farm with Guernsey
cows."
Then the farmers and cattle grow
ers of Guernsey at a special meet
ing of the Farmers' Association and
the Agricultural Society Secured a
special license for the export of the
selected cattle to the American Red
Cross hospital farm at Sarisbury.

sired.
The man who has tho control and
supervision of the ion or more t'nited
States army base hospitals in Frunce,
and the forty-five similar Institutions
in this country. Is necessarily an im
portant factor In the conduct of the
American ond of the world war.

Task U -t-?lgaatir.
To the uninitiated it may b*e
stated that in a large military
camp, such as Camp Humphreys,
where thousands of men are mobi
lized, a lar $re number are neces
sarily sick, or are suffering from
a variety of surg-ical complaints,
while those overseas suffer from
the casualties and illness incident
to w.ir. The gigantic task of
bringing these men back to health
has fallen to the lot of Gen. Noble
and his corps of assistants.
His arrangement of the many
? necessary buildings and their equip
ment has been successfully Accom
plished without much "fuss and
feathers.'* He has organized and
Systematized medical and nursing
?staffs to meet the various condi
i tions that aris?? imong the occu
pants of the 2.000 beds in each of
the base hospitals. He has per
fected the ruiaiae, and divided the
varied ailments and injuries into
wards so the treatment of the prt
i tients may be facilitated.

"He is the man who has to sal
vage the wreckage of war," a
former soldier said, who has a
: dear, and near relative in one of
? the hospitals under Gen. Noble's
| supervision. "He is a genius, this
army surgeon, who is unselfishly
devot ing his time and talents tt?
? saving our boys who have gone
? forth to make the supreme sacrifice,
if necessary. He is gathering up
and mending the fag ends of bat

in his psychopathic wards and re

Treasury Ruling Pays Them
During Captivity as
War Prisoners.
Army nurses captured as pris
oners of war will hereafter re
ceive their regular pay from the
government while in captivity
This le a reversal of the previous
ruling handed down by the Treas
ury Department on July 1?. which
classed army nurses as civilian em
ployes and denied them any pay
(while in the hands of the enemy.
The reconsideration of that ruling
, was made at the request of Secre
tary of War Baker, after the in
justice of its application had been
I called to his attention by Mrs.
Helen Hoy (?reeley, counsel for Na.
| tional Committee to Secure Bank
for Nurses.
Secretary Baker's experiences
I abroad undoubtedly led him to a
realization of the heroic service of
? American nurses in France, and
this recognition on his part of
what is due the army nurse is
taken by nursing authorities her?
as an indication that rank may
soon be granted the Army Nurse
Corps.
The Warwick Ralla?.
The new ruling was made public
yesterday in a letter from Comp
troller Warwick of the Treasury to
the Secretary of War. In which he
states?
"for the time any member of
the Army Nurse Corps is a
prisoner of war in the hands
of the enemy without fault on
her part as to capture, her ab
sence from duty should be ex
cused as unavoidable, -and she
be treated as in full pay
status.**
"We are very much gratified. "
Mrs. Greeley said today, "that Sec
retary Biker took up our case and
secured this new decision from the
Treasury Department. The origi
: nal mistake would never have been

rection hep ? necessary, if the posi
, tion of the nurses in our army
were defined by the rank which is
her due. and which is already pos
losaod by the nurses of Greet
